Sally Mann

The most beautiful thing i found about Sally Mann's photography is her process. She uses the glass plate process that I have always been anxious to try. The photography of her children i can also identify with. Although some of those photographs are staged, others are created out of spontaneous moments. They remind me of my childhood going to the lake with my siblings. Sally Mann's photography is important because she photographs what is around her and what is important to her. Like a writer can only write what they know, Sally Mann only photographs what she is experiencing. In her latest show, a show about death,  the inspiration was her husband who is dying slowly of a muscle disease. I admire her for tackling the struggles in her life with her camera.
